Password levels
There are nine password levels, 1 to 9.
Level 1 has the greatest level of access; level 9 has the least.
The default level for a new user is level 9.
Users with the password level specified for a particular field (or a greater access level) are able to view or modify that field.
For example, if you allocate a user password level of 5 to General Ledger Bank Reconciliation Modify, only users with a level of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 will be able to modify reconciled Bank Statement pages.
You may wish to raise or lower the password level that a particular user has.
